you both have my upmost respect...this race is a monster. I can't image ever doing it again but then again I never planned on grabbing the spark plug wire of a runing lawn mover either.....cheers to throwing down the best races and post race celebrations..... I'd love to take credit but teamwork makes it happen!

: Gary,
:
: I see a post by you regarding the Pineland
: Farms Ultra. I should have listened. This
: was a tough race. I was spent by mile 30 and
: thought this might be a DNF. The
: organizations was great, the trails were
: good, the weather was great, and I ran well
: for quite awhile. Is was a good learning
: experience that I will probably sit out in
: future years. I was more spent form this
: race than any other I have completed.
: Luckily my brother Steve helped me through
: the last 11 miles as a pacer.
:
: 8:09+ for 50 miles 11th place overall. I'll
: stick to road marathons and leave the trails
: for someone else. I also see Nedicus at the
: completion of the race. He ran 50k and I
: never see him on the trails. Not much chance
: we did anything in the team awards as I
: think we may have been a team of 2. Nedicus
: was bummed that the keg ran dry and shortly
: after he left a couple others went on tap.
: Nedicus was longing for the post race party
: at the CGI. Sorry Nedicus. You had it right
: about the Cranberry Ultra. It is the only
: one I am interested in this summer.
